My recent report showed hb on the lower side and gynac mentioned i need to focus on iron. Apart from the tablets she gave, i want to add good food options too. What all did you ladies eat that actually helped?
My gynac told me to eat iron rich foods like green leafy veggies, dates and lentils, and pair them with vitamin C like lemon for better absorption. She also prescribed iron tablets when my levels dropped. Dont skip the prescribed ones.
Beta we always gave palak, beetroot, dates and jaggery for blood in pregnancy. Cook in iron kadhai, my mother used to say. But take your iron tablets from the doctor too, food alone sometimes isnt enough.
My amma made me drink ragi and eat lots of greens, very good for iron she said. I followed it along with my doctor's tablets. The combination kept my levels up nicely.
